Spelling a possible catastrophe for youngsters' lunches throughout the Midwest and Texas, Big Boy Food Group has recalled approximately 39,500 pounds of ready-to-eat lunches. Dinolunch Carnivore Ham & Cheese, and Dinolunch T-Rex Turkey & Cheese kits distributed in Texas have been recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
